we own GSW 2nd though. I think our optimal situation has us taking a perimeter scoring type and a pg

Hopefully we can acquire another first Burke/Goodwin/Smart/MCW/McLemore/Bazz/Young would all be good chances for us to take

Noel is a total wildcard, he's either gonna be a total bust or be very good he fills the stat sheet, 11 pts, 10 boards, 3.5 blocks 3 steals 2 assists those are great numbers for an NBA player even if that's all he is

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Most mocks have him going in the second right now. I think depending on how he fares in conference play he could shoot up to latter half of the first round.

All I know is he would look nice in the Vaughn offense because he is a good scorer and has shown to be a decent distributor playing PG this season, Paul coming off of that elbow screen and making the read to pass or score is something I would like to see on the Magic. Paul reminds me a bit of JJ (in his more recent years), except Paul is longer and more athletic (making him a better defender and better at drawing FTs).

we do? i missed that i guess, any protections?

2014 first-round pick from the Denver Nuggets: The Nuggets have two first-round picks in 2014, their own pick and a pick from the New York Knicks. The Magic will receive the less favorable of the two picks.

our own pick (hopefully top-5)

whatever we trade for at the deadline.
